I don't think that everything returning OF_BAD_ADDR makes sense
to turn into IORESOURCE_REG. It could be an e.g. invalid DT
representation, a node with #size-cells=<0>, or it could be
something that gets translated one or more nodes up in the
tree before it reaches a bus without a ranges property.

Also, you should not rely on #address-cells being hardcoded
to <1> above.

How about modifying of_get_address() rather than
__of_address_to_resource() instead? You could introduce
a new of_bus entry for each bus you expect to return
an IORESOURCE_REG, or you could change of_bus_default_get_flags
to return IORESOURCE_REG if the parent node has no ranges property
and is not the root node.
